I don't know how many of you have been reading critics reviews, but if you're curious, take a look at this: <A HREF="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/TheLordoftheRingsTheTwoTowers-1118285/" TARGET=_blank>Rotten Tomatos</A>. TTT got a 99% freshness rating overall and a 100% from the "Cream of the Crop" reviewers. I had only read one critics's review and watched another on TV. Anyway, I thought you would like to take a look at all those glowing, gushing reviews and see what you think.<P>I myself did not read beyond the "titles" for the reviews, because I really must be stumbling off to bed right now. I'm beat. But actually feeling pretty happy, because I took out all my frustraitions by posting, and I'm determined to now dwell on the good parts. "Don't let the sun go down on your anger" they say, and even though the sun was never out where I live today, I'll follow that advice.<P>So as I drift off to sleep I'll conjure up pictures of Sam in my mind, and not Faramir.<P>I want to add that the very last scene in the movie, "Samwise the Brave", was really quite lovely (though Frodo was acting like a manic depressive on the upswing when you take into account the previous scenes) and it was a nice way to end the movie. Like I said in the Sam thread, thanks Sean Astin for saving this movie for me.<P>And yes, I'm seeing it in the theatre again and will buy the special DVD when it comes out. I know: no matter how much I've dissed it (and it deserved it!) I will still go crawling back for more. But first I'm going to crawl off to bed.
